Microsoft announced that they will be implementing new media streaming options in an upcoming update for the Xbox One. In a video released today, Xbox One engineer Ashley Speicher walked us through some of the upcoming features.

Of the many upcoming features, one of the biggest is the DLNA support, which allows you to play media content through any connected USB device, with plans to add home network support shortly after. Along with this, you will see changes to your friends list, and threaded messages are being added, letting you view an entire series of messages, all without having to leave the game.
